D,' Hayden, Hayden, the president, is now before us and we have read it with keen interest,, knowing what an enthusiast he is in connection with the good work being done in this institution, already one of the best equipped hosj itals we have visited outside of the cities, but Mr. Hayden's ambitions are not ybt fully gratified, for he sajp: "Not for one minute do I wish to convey the impression that oür institution institution is complete, for army appliances: appliances: and conforts uiu-t be; added from time to time. One thing we have got, however* and that is as an up-to- date, bright, cheerful, convenient, well ventilated hospital as can- be, found any place in the Dominion. W« planned planned for a 34-bed hospital. At one time this year we had 24 beds occupied, showing that in a very few y eats this building will be worked to it s capacity and we, or those who "come after us, will have to provide for 1 greater accommodation. accommodation.

Last year the three hospitals nursed 553 patients," and when you compare this enormous hospital growth with, say the work of three years ago, one must stop and wonder what size hospital work would have been placed on the shoulders , of our Counties Council had they undertaken this work. ■ They certainly, would have hadjbo spend more than the $600 i a year which they now divide : among three hospial . Last year the three hospitals spent $18,450;in maintenance and by next spring th -v will have spent over $100,000 in building and equipment." Col N. F.

The Bowmanville Young People's Rally a Gratifying Success. ST. PAUL'S ANNIVERSARY The weather has ideal Sunday for the anniversary of St. Paul's Presbyterian Presbyterian Church. Splendid congregations congregations greeted Rev. Daniel Strachan, B. A., D.D., pastor of RosedaJv Presbyterian Presbyterian t hurch, Toronto, wbv^ÿreachv ed at both services eminently practical practical sermons that will not soon be forgotten forgotten by his hearers. At the morning morning service he expressed his pleasure at the privilege of coming to Bowmanville Bowmanville for the first time, and to this church with whose history he was q ite familiar. His father had been intimate with the late Rev. John Mc- Kerris at Queén's University who was a former minister of the old Kirk church here, and he himself had been associated with the McKerris family while m mister of the Brock ville Presbyte Presbyte ian Church. Dr. Strachan's morning text was "What Think Ye of Christ?" and he presented a masterly and convincing convincing sermon on the friendliness of Christ basing his remarks on the title given to Christ in a derisive manner, "A friend of publicans and sinners", but which was in reality the greatest tribute they could pav Him. The speaker showed clearly that if we are to be His true followers we must get the vision of Christ as a friend to the friendless, an asylum to the hopeless, and a haven to the tired and sinful. He showed the tremendous responsibility responsibility resting upon all the followers of Christ to carry sunshine into every life. The speaker said if hn had a free hand (and he had not) he would open a door on the north, on the south, on the east and the west on communion Sundays and invite all the tired and sin-sick souls to come in and forget for a while the burdens they were beaming. He closed his splendid address with a verse from Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar" which was a fitting closing to a timely and well-presented sermon. The evening sermon was another masterly address and one which the large congregation fully and thoroly enjoyed. The musical services of the day were in keeping with the occasion and were a credit to all who took part. The choir under the direction of Mr. H. J. Knight, with Mrs. E. S. Senkler as organist, sang in splendid form the anthems "Tarry With Me" and "Rock of Ages", Mr. Knight and Mrs. Oawker taking the solo parts, and the male quartette--Messrs. Yeljowlees, Knight, Carruthers and Hallman--sang "Nearer, "Nearer, Still Tearer" at the morning 'service. 'service. In the evening the choir rendered rendered the anthem "The Day is Past and Over", Mrs. Cawker and Mr. Hallman taking the obligato duet. The duet, "Hope Beyond" Gy Mrs. Cawker and Mr. Knight was well tendered and very much enjoyed, as was the selection selection "Something for Thee" by the male •quartet, all being well sung and appropriate to the day. * The beautiful chrysanthemums which decorated the "front of the church ïtdded much to the beauty and pleasure of the occasion. The thank-offering was a generous one. Mr. S. J. Williams, Hampton, and Mr. Harry R.ogers, Enniskillen, attended a banquet in the Queen's Hotel, Port Hope, given to the ^veterans of 1856 and 1866. Lieut. Col. Ward acted as chairman and toast master and toasts to the Empire, Our Country, The Veterans were proposed proposed and responded to in a most interesting manner. A number of guests were present present who enjoyed with the Veterans, the evening of speech, song and the excellent supper. In à letter received from our worthy young townsman, Pte. Robfc. G. Dick- mson, of the 8th Canadian Mounted Rifles, who sailed on S.S. "Missanabie" on Oct. 8th, he gives the following interesting interesting account of the trip: The morning of the 7th, when we left Barriefield Camp at Kingston, we breakfasted at 5 a.rn. and were on parade parade at 7 a.m. It rained quite hard as we started off--as Sergt. Guervin expressed expressed it "Even the heavens wept at our departure". The 69th Band escorted escorted us to the station. At Ottawa the ladies served us with soup, bread and fruit as we filed off the station platform. After marching thru the city to Parliament H 11 we were reviewed by General Sir Sam Hughes, Minister of Militia, and His Excellency the Duke of Connaught. The square in front of the Parliament Buildings was surrounded by a cordon of infaptry and police to hold the crowd back. There didn't seem to be a single place left unoccupied on the ground, and people swarmed over the roofs and balconies of surrounding 4 buildings. Ottawa certainly treated us royally. We reached Monti eal about 10 p.m. when we went on board our ship. The matter of booking berths was very simple and expeditious. expeditious. We were handed a card with number of room and berth and a steward steward conducted us thither. We sailed at 6 next morning and the trip down river was very fine. Just before we reached Quebec Sergt. Major Graham came for me to mount guard at gang plank while we were at wharf. They are still working on the large steel bridge that collapsed several years ago. As we passed, the workmen stood up and cheered. As we passed by the Heights and the Fort at Quebec I was thinking of Parker's "Seats of the Mighty"--it has about the best description description of the old Citadel that I have read. We had some good concerts on the way over under the management of the Y M.C A. representative, and wë got a good supply of books and magazines from the same source. After the fellows began to get their sea legs we were taken up each morning morning for some physical dr.II, and once or twice we had life boat drill. The day before we landed, two little narrow vessels with three short funnels funnels came alongside, and took up their E ositious on either side of us. We had een zig-zagging all morning, but from that on we kept a straight course. They were destroyers, numbers 2 and 3, sent out to keep us from the subs, or rather the subs from Us. When night came on the ships ran without a single light, but all three could be distinctly distinctly seen in the bright moonlight. The.ocean was like a sea of quicksilver, quicksilver, slightly undulating, but without without a perceptible ripple, save in the wake of the boats. Behind the destroyer destroyer on our right the reflection showed like liquid five. It is hard to believe how bright it was, or how wierdly beautiful the whole scene appeared. Next morning we were lying at entrance entrance to Plymouth harbor in a fog. It soon lifted, however, and I got my first glimpse of England. I could see a steep cliff of perhaps 200 feet, and on top the beautiful irregularly-shaped fields and pretty hedges. : I always associate associate these places with what I nave read about them and of course it was "Westward Ho !" that came to me as we worked slowly up the harbor I was almost looking for the fleet that lay there waiting tor the Armada. On every side the high cliffs are fortified. fortified. Every part of the winding harbor seemed to be covered by guns. A tug towed us in to Plymouth harbor. The port is now a naval base rather than a trading harbor. As we went in we passed a lot of old naval ships- now in use as training vessels for young seamen. Some of them were very old ones, and reminded me of pictures of Nelson's fleet. There were a few gunboats and destroyers there undergoing repairs or awaiting orders. A boat load of troops moved off to cross the Channel for the front as we came up. The trip from Plymouth" to Liphook was well worth any discomforts ex^- perienced on the voyage. The scenery was indescribably beautiful. There were the neatly trimmed h. dges, funny little fields, big stretches of gorse and furze-coverea common " for hundreds of acres at a stretch. The roads were, harrow, winding, and fenced with high hedges so thick one could not see thru them. Everywhere one kept passing the quaint thatched cottages, hay stacks--"ricks' they call them here--and stable buildings so well known from Englishlandscape pictures. Once or twice we got a distant distant view of the old monuments which marked battlefields dating away back to Danish times. We go out on route marches now, and pass some interesting rural places. We are told that in Liphook is the chestnut tree beneath which "the village smithy stands". It was dark when we came thru there and we haven't been back since. But we see the inns, the thatched houses, commons, commons, cross roads, directing boards, hazel copses, country seats, and all the rest of it. We ave only forty miles from London and we hope for a pass soon that • we may visit the great, metropolis. The anniversary services of the Ep- worth League of the Methodist Church held on Sunday and Monday, Nov, 14 and 15, were y, most enjoyable and gratifying success in every particular. The Leaguers had selected a former well-beloved pastor, Rev. John Gar- butt, Oshawa, as preacher for the day, and the excellent attendance at the services proved that their choice met with the heartiest approval of the con- ■ Short Course in Li ve Stock and Seed Judging in ,Bowmanville on Wednesday and Thursday Dec. 1 and 2. REV. JOHN GAR BUTT gregation. In *the morning the speaker speaker took his text from Luke 24: 47, "Beginning at Jerusalem". He outlined outlined his sermon under three headings and drew many practical lessons therefrom: therefrom: (1) the heart is the Jerusalem of a man's moral nature; (2) the home is the Jerusalem of a m in's social nature; (3) the church is the Jerusalem of a man's religious nature. The speaker said a church is no better than the best saints it furnishes, and made an earnest plea to the young people to be worthy of their cal in g and opportunities, opportunities, and ever - to stand by the church and the high ideals it represents The anthem by a full choir, "How bright their glorious spirits shine", was exceedingly exceedingly well rendered, and Miss Helen Martin sang a solo, "The Lord is Mindful of His own" which was equally enjoyed and very appropriate. The Bible School session at 2.30 p.m. was devoted largely to the temperance cause, Rev. Mr. Garbutt addressing the school in a very practical manner on the comparison between the products products of the saloon and the Bible School, receiving interested attention. In the evening every available seat was occupied, and the male choir occupied occupied the choir gallery. This was their second appearance under the capable leadership of Prof. G. G. Laugher, choirmaster and organist, and their first chorus, "My Anchor Holds" was a genuine treat to all. The sermon on "Life's. Ministry" was especially adapted adapted to the young people. He based his remarks on Matt. 9: 45: "He went about doing good". The four peritite referred to by the speaker as descriptive descriptive of the highest ministry of life were: the ideal, the preparation, the fulfilment, and the rewards which come as a natural result of the consecrated consecrated life. It was a very earnest sermon sermon and one which must necessarily produce serious thought among the young folk as they resume their efforts in the Epworth League and other kindred societies The men's choir furnished another chorus and a very appropriate one as a summary of the sermon "My Life Will Tell".. Mr. W. S. Bragg, tenor, sang a solo "Alone With Jesus" with much acceptance. A Brilliant Musical Event Monday evening a concert was held in the Sunday 'chool Room under the joint auspices of the Choir and Ep- worth League, arranged by Prof. Laugher who deserves the greatest credit for presenting one of the best musical programs ever given in this place by local talent. The President of the Ep worth League, Mr. Claude Ives, presi led in a genial . manner. ,Rev. Mr. Garbutt and Rev. W. G. Clarke, pastor, were also asked to occupy occupy chairs on the platform. The most popular numbers on the program were those given by the Bowmanville String Trio--Prof. Laugher, cello, Mr. E. Franke, violinist. Miss Mayme Shaw, pianist. These were recalled on each appearance, and it was the concensus of opinion that Bowmanville Bowmanville s String Trio is the best of its kind which the citizens have had the pleasure of hearing for many a day; each seemed the master of his instrument, instrument, and the resulting harmony of sound was iiideed a pleasure. Other enjoyable musical numbers splendidly rendered were: solos, Miss Helen Martin, Martin, Mr. T. S. Holgate, Mr. Fred J. VanNest; vocal duet, Mrs. T. E. Higginbotham Higginbotham and Miss Martin. The men's choir gave four selections, each better than the last, and received very hearty applause. Readings were well- rvîtTûM V\tt IVfiao Rilrf a Wlamnn <4 .Ml\ iveni by Miss Rilda Slemon irown Gets his Hair Cut", and by Mr. Fred R.

À talk on "Friendship--How to make friends and how to keep them" was given Rev. Mr. Garbutt, LIEUT. CHESTER HUGHES KILLED IN ACTION Only Son of Dr. James L.

AUTUMN WEDDING. Grooms--Brooks. One of the prettiest of Autumn weddings weddings took place at the home of Mr. J. W.

Promptly at four o'clock the bridal party took their places in the drawing room which was prettily decorated with chrysanthemums and foliage a bank of bronze and white 'mums' making a pretty background for the group. Mrs. Ray Grooms, Napanee, sister-in-law of the groom, played Lohengrin's wedding march.
